Filtered stream v1

Description

keyword

Matches a keyword within the body of a Tweet. This is a tokenized match, meaning that your keyword string will be matched against the tokenized text of the Tweet body. Tokenization splits words based on punctuation, symbols, and Unicode basic plane separator characters.

For example, a Tweet with the text “I like coca-cola” would be split into the following tokens: I, like, coca, cola. These tokens would then be compared to the keyword string used in your rule. To match strings containing punctuation (e.g. coca-cola), symbol, or separator characters, you must wrap your keyword in double quotes.

emoji

Matches an emoji within the body of a Tweet. Similar to a keyword, emojis are a tokenized match, meaning that your emoji will be matched against the tokenized text of the Tweet body.

Note that if an emoji has a variant, you must wrap it double quotes to add to a rule.

"exact phrase match"

Matches the exact phrase within the body of a Tweet.

#

Matches any Tweet containing a recognized hashtag, if the hashtag is a recognized entity in a Tweet.

This operator performs an exact match, NOT a tokenized match, meaning the rule #thanku will match posts with the exact hashtag #thanku, but not those with the hashtag #thankunext.

@

Matches any Tweet that mentions the given username, if the username is a recognized entity (including  the @ character).

from:

Matches any Tweet from a specific user.

The value can be either the username (excluding the @ character) or the user’s numeric user ID.

to:

Matches any Tweet that is in reply to a particular user.

The value can be either the username (excluding the @ character) or the user’s numeric user ID.

url:

Performs a tokenized match on any validly-formatted URL of a Tweet.

This operator can matches on the contents of both the url or expanded_url. For example, a Tweet containing You should check out Twitter Developer Labs: https://t.co/c0A36SWil4 (with the short URL redirecting to https://developer.twitter.com) will match both the following rules:

• from:TwitterDev url:"https://developer.twitter.com" (because it will match the contents of entities.urls.expanded_url)
• from:TwitterDev url:"https://t.co" (because it will match the contents of entities.urls.url)

Tokens and phrases containing punctuation or special characters should be double-quoted (for example, url:"/developer"). Similarly, to match on a specific protocol, enclose in double-quotes (for example, url:"https://developer.twitter.com").

bio:

Matches Tweets from authors with the specified keyword or phrase within the user bio of a Tweet. This is a tokenized match within the contents of the user's description field.

bio_name:

Matches Tweets from authors with the specified keyword or phrase in their profile's name. This is a tokenized match within the contents of a user’s name field.

bio_location:

Matches Tweets from authors whose location contains the specified keyword or phrase. This is a tokenized match within the contents of a user’s location field (if present).

retweets_of:

Matches Tweets that are Retweets of the specified user. The value can be either the username (excluding the @ character) or the user’s numeric user ID.

bounding_box:[west_long south_lat east_long north_lat]

Matches against the exact location (long, lat) of the Tweet (if present).

• west_long south_lat represent the southwest corner of the bounding box where west_long is the longitude of that point, and south_lat is the latitude.

Description

has:links

This operator matches Tweets which contain links in the Tweet body.

has:mentions

Matches Tweets that mention another Twitter user.

has:media

Matches Tweets that contain a media URL recognized by Twitter.

has:images

Matches Tweets that contain a recognized URL to an image.

has:videos

Matches Tweets that contain native Twitter videos, uploaded directly to Twitter. This will not match on videos created with Periscope, or Tweets with links to other video hosting sites.

has:hashtags

Matches Tweets that contain at least one hashtag.

has:geo

Matches Tweets that containing geolocation (if the user added location information to a Tweet).

is:retweet

Delivers only explicit Retweets that match the rest of the specified rule. This operator looks only for true Retweets (for example, those generated using the Retweet button). Tweets with comments (also known as Quoted Tweets) and modified Tweets will not be matched by this operator.

is:quote

Delivers only explicit Retweets with comments (also known as Quoted Tweets) that match the rest of the specified rule.

is:verified

Deliver only Tweets whose authors are verified by Twitter.

sample:

Returns a random percent sample of Tweets that match a rule rather than the entire set of Tweets. The percent value must be represented by an integer between 1 and 100 (for example, sample:10 will return a random 10% sample).

This operator first reduces the scope of the stream to the percentage you specified, then the rule/filter is applied to that sampled subset. In other words, if you are using, for example, sample:10, each Tweet will have a 10% chance of being in the sample.

This operator applies to the entire rule and requires all OR'd terms to be grouped.

lang:

Matches Tweets that have been classified by Twitter as being of a particular language (if, and only if, the tweet has been classified). It is important to note that each Tweet is currently only classified as being of one language, so AND’ing together multiple languages will yield no results.

Note: if no language classification can be made the provided result is ‘und’ (for undefined).

The list below represents the currently supported languages and their corresponding BCP 47 language identifier:
